About Morzine
The ski resort of Morzine is a traditional Alpine town approximately one hour’s drive from Geneva Airport, in the North Western corner of the French Alps. The ski area is part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the world’s largest ski areas, straddling the French and Swiss border, with skiing in both countries linked by ski lifts and covered on one pass. The town is also well-known for its extensive summer program and is a hub for cyclists from around the world due to the extensive mountain biking on offer and the road cycling options that include routes used for international competitions such as the Tour de France.
